HC Deb 20 February 1986 vol 92 c298W
33. Mr. Spencer

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he intends to take steps to seek to give the prosecution a right of appeal against sentences.

Mr. Mellor

We have been considering whether there is an acceptable means of meeting public concern about over-lenient sentences. A number of options will be discussed in a White Paper on criminal justice matters which we intend to publish before long.
